Two takes on blogs
Kathleen Parker takes to the Blogosphere:
Fareed Zakaria's perspective is similar, if the language is less laudatory. From p. 254 of The Future of Freedom:
This strikes me as essentially correct. Most blogs, most of the time, do not generate news -- and it's not always a good thing when they claim to have new info. What most blogs excel at is the sifting, sorting, and framing of information that's already in the public domain. The best blogs do this with rigor, wit, and alacrity. The rest of us just use long quotes as a substitute. posted by Dan on 07.14.03 at 04:55 PM |
